4 of the 8 programs below list tirzepatide for less than Maximus's $249 a month.
Maximus sells compounded tirzepatide at one flat rate for every dose, from $249.99 a month on its shortest two-month plan down to $149.99 on a 12-month plan, each billed up front.
Best for: People who want compounded tirzepatide at a flat price across doses and are willing to prepay at least two months, or who want brand-name pens and tablets in the same account.
What Maximus does well
- Its pricing FAQ lists every plan length: $249.99 a month on 2 months, $219.99 on 4, $199.99 on 6 and $149.99 on 12, with no separate first-month price
- One flat rate covers every dose tier, with no membership fee and free shipping
- Also offers brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro pens plus the Wegovy and Foundayo tablets
- Board-certified doctors review your history, and you can message your doctor any time without an appointment
- Available in every state except Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, and HSA and FSA cards are accepted
Why readers look for an alternative
- There is no month-to-month tirzepatide plan: the shortest is two months, billed up front, and plans renew automatically at the same term
- No compounded semaglutide option
- No refund on medication once it has shipped, and if you aren't approved you are refunded minus the cost of the doctor consultation
- Brand-name pricing is unclear: one page says plans start at $199.99, another says from $499 a month, and the product pages show no price
- The compounding pharmacy isn't named, only described as a licensed U.S. pharmacy
- Compounded tirzepatide is not an FDA-approved product
- FDA issued Maximus Health, Inc. dba Maximus a warning letter in June 2026; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
